USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Tule River and the Friant-Kern Canal define the hydraulic landscape of this Tulare County region during a period of significant mid-century growth. The map illustrates the expansion of Porterville through purple-tinted urban extensions, showing how the city moved toward Scenic Heights and Lewis Hill. This transition is marked by a high density of educational institutions, from the Porterville College campus to numerous neighborhood sites like the West Putnam Sch and Belleview Sch.
